PHOTO: Jennifer Hudson bids long locks adieu for close crop

(Yahoo!) - Sometimes less is more, especially if you're Jennifer Hudson. The songstress / Weight Watchersspokeswoman has already dramatically changed her look by dropping several dress sizes over the last few years, but now her transformation is complete — because she traded her signature flowing locks for a chic pixie cut. J.Hud has a new 'do.

The Oscar-winning thesp debuted her dramatic chop at the BET Black Girls Rock show in New York City on Saturday. Short and sweet, the haircut shows off Hudson's enviable bone structure and beautiful neckline. She looked totally at ease with her bold new look, and completed her style with sultry, smoky eyes and light pink lips.

The "Dreamgirls" star also managed an impressive three outfit changes throughout the night: a skintight dress for the arrivals carpet, a flirty skirt for presenting awards, and leather leggings with a track jacket for performing ... and wowed in each.

Other attendees included Queen Latifah, Patti LaBelle, Venus Williams, Eve, La La Anthony, and Mariah Carey(who flashed some serious skin in a crop top and mermaid skirt). And while all of the ladies looked pretty stunning, it was Jennifer Hudson — and her cool new crop — that no doubt stole the show.
